Punch pizza has two locations very nearby. Highland Park location is the closest. Another is on Grand Ave in St. Paul that is near small boutiques and shops, bars, and other restaurants. Their pizzas are Neapolitan style. Wood-fired in 90 seconds! Smells and tastes amazing. One of my favorites!

Come and see a show! The Christmas Carol is a favorite, but there are plays all year long. There are restaurants inside the theater and plenty to see and do in the neighborhood before and after a show. I recommend touring the theater and checking out the "endless bridge" inside.

Tour this beautiful mansion that sits just over the river in St Paul on historic Summit Ave. It was the home of railroad barron James J Hill. After, take a walk along Summit Ave if you like early 1900's architecture or go a block over and enjoy Grand Ave shops and restaurants.
